Rylee served six years; now needs help to get home
Rylee served six years in the air force; $2,450 would cover a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment.
🇦🇺 Tasmania, Australia1,613 views
I served six years in the air force and was discharged in 2025 with post-traumatic stress. I have been waiting eleven months for support, and meanwhile I'm sleeping at my brother's place.
I have a plan: a deposit on a one-bedroom apartment. The quote I have comes to $2,450.
I'm receiving counseling through the veterans' clinic and am committed to my recovery. Structure and a stable place to live are the missing pieces.
I'd be grateful for any help and will share updates on how I'm doing.
I'll post invoices, with personal details hidden.
Where the $2,450 goes:
• Housing deposit and first month: $920
• Training provider fees: $1,200
• Transport to appointments: $330
Thanks for being kind about this.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Hobart.
Thank you. If you're in Hobart I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Cairo
It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Savar.
Hope it all works out, Rylee. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope March is when things finally get easier.
So sorry you're going through this, Rylee. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Las Cruces so I could bring a meal.
